Need to blame Obama

It's become a tradition on the Right to call Obama the most Left and extreme president in American history. Mitt Romney, Michelle Bachmann and other major political influences claim Barack Obama is "the most radical president our country has ever seen." Where is the proof? Where is the rational inquiry?

If their claims were correct, an actual radical Left president would have pulled the troops out of Afghanistan, ended the war on drugs and cut the entire national defense budget in half. Obama cut spending and taxes under the premise of government cuts, which is what the Right wanted. The Dow Jones was at 7,949 when Obama took office, now it's 12,460, and corporate profits are at the highest ever. If Barack Obama is a "left-wing socialist," he's doing a bad job at it.

The only socialistic ideal Obama has set in motion is medicine. This idea is great in theory and unlike the propaganda you hear on the news, there is proof it works. Britain, Canada, France and others have utilized this to an advantage. Everything starts with an idea, and from that idea, greatness can happen.

It's not about what Obama is. It's about what a majority of the Right needs him to be. They want him to be the symbol of failure and socialism but this is only a scare tactic spearheaded by conservatives themselves.
